FIRE TWO

Assistant Fire Officer Bhanwar Singh Tyagi said the
intensity of fire has been reduced to 75 per cent and by
evening it would die down when the fuel gets fully burnt.
Cold water mixed with foam was sprayed on the pipeline
of LPG storage tankers located near the IOC-petroleum depot to
keep it cool and unaffected from the heat generated from the
fire. Gas valves of the pipeline were closed.
Residents of Sitapura, Pratapnagar, and nearby
villages suffered breathing problems as the dense smoke had a
suffocating affect on them.
"People are advised to use mask or hanky", the
collector said.
A radius of five km was cordoned off in the Sitapura
and Pratapnagar area, he said.
Rail and road transport on the Jaipur-Kota section up
to Sawaimadhopur district was stopped or diverted as a
precautionary measure.
The Petroleum Minister visited the site and went to
the hospitals to meet patients. He also held talks with
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Indian minister C P
Joshi, who belong to Rajasthan. MORE PTI YG
